What kind of player can you get in the NFL for less than a million dollars? Someone special, if you know where to look in the draft or free agency. While the production of the league's rising young stars will soon earn them a much bigger payday, their teams should enjoy great bang for the buck while they can. Here's Sporting News' All-Bargain team for 2013, led by that one steal of a quarterback in Seattle:

The cost of locking up top franchise quarterbacks is becoming astronomical, and Wilson is bound to join his brethren as a near $20 million man soon. But for now, the Seahawks can continue to reap the benefits of their 2012 third-round steal. If Wilson leads them all the way to a Super Bowl title, he’ll break the bank a lot sooner. What he gives them as a runner, passer and leader is remarkable given the combination of his age and current price tag.

Morris still is a man of modest means, even though his beloved "Bentley" just became a little souped-up ride. Consider Morris was 3 years old during the model year of his Mazda 626. (1991). Morris now, 24, hasn't looked better in Year 2. He isn't on pace for the 1,613 rushing yards and 13 TDs from his rookie breakout, but that's because Washington isn't feeding him as much as it needs to. He's ripping through defenses at 5.2 yards per carry despite the Redskins' passing inconsistency.

Every team would like a Woodhead-type player, an elusive versatile back who doubles as a mismach slot receiver with his combination of compact size and quickness. The Patriots enjoyed great bang for the buck with him, and now he's paying off for the Chargers who sorely missed another player of this ilk, current Saints running back Darren Sproles. Through seven games, Woodhead has already matched his receptions total of last season with New England (40) and is on pace to surpass 1,100 yards from scrimmage.

Not to be confused with the reversed-named standout Saints defensive end, Cameron, a former big college wideout at USC, has busted out as the next great athletic receiving tight end. He's on pace for 98 receptions with nearly 1,200 yards and a dozen TDs. Now that's wide receiver-like production. He'll be watching with great interest to see the next contract the Saints' Jimmy Graham gets.

Before Baltimore's Week 8 bye, Smith was leading the NFL in receiving yards with 629. What's remarkable is the fact he's done it on just 31 receptions while averaging a whopping 20.3 yards per catch. The Ravens need to make it a point to get their speedster the ball down the stretch if they hope to return to the playoffs. Smith is worthy of a raise soon and will need it, recently married and expecting his first child with his wife.

There isn't much positive to say about the Jaguars' 2013 season, and 2012 wasn't so good, either. But there's one position around which they should build: Wide receiver. While Justin Blackmon looks the part of a No. 1 as a first-round pick, Shorts, who followed in the Mount Union footsteps of Washington's Pierre Garcon to be a talented X target, is only 25 and despite being banged up, is working to trump last year's yardage (979) with 565 more after eight games.

T: Charles Brown, Saints (2013 salary: $630,000)

It takes a good man and a better blocker to hold down the important job of Drew Brees' blindside pass protector. Brown took over on the left side for Jermon Bushrod, who's now manning the position for Jay Cutler (and now Josh McCown) in Chicago. Brown has held his own against many eager pass rushers, and was an easy replacement choice.

It's not a coincidence that Denver lost at Indianapolis when Franklin, battling knee and ankle injuries, had to be out of the lineup. He's grown a lot more important as he’s now blocking for Peyton Manning on the right side since left tackle Ryan Clady went down for the season. Franklin is also pretty good at securing the edge for the running game.

C: Manny Ramirez, Broncos (2013 salary: $815,000)

His namesake in Major League Baseball made tons of money that this Ramirez will never get close to getting as center. But he's come through big time considering the Broncos looked like they would have a key loss in Dan Koppen. Manning's relationship with his center is an underrated key to his success (see his long-time relationship with Jeff Saturday in Indianapolis), and Ramirez has delivered.

The Vikings' offensive line hasn't had the dominant season it had paving the way for Adrian Peterson's 2K rushing campaign in 2013, but it's still pretty darn good. Left tackle Matt Kalil and center John Sullivan are the headliners, but Fusco has solidified right guard, too. He is an ideal fit for their blocking scheme, and should be around a while for Peterson.

G: Alex Boone, 49ers (2013 salary: $950,000)

Boone is the most expensive player on the list, but we didn't mind splurging on the best guard in the game over the past two seasons. Boone is a great leader on the league's best offensive line, and his personality, as well as mean, nasty blocking style mesh well with the other four guys. No wonder San Francisco is riding him and its other absolute powerhouses up front.

So all was not lost for Dallas with its complementary 4-3 pass rush opposite DeMarcus Ware when the team learned Anthony Spencer needed to miss the entire season after having microfracture knee surgery. Selvie, once considered a better NFL prospect than former fellow South Florida star Jason-Pierre Paul, has been a nice fill-in. He has five sacks, on pace for double digits to boost Ware.

While the team used a first-round pick on Dion Jordan, it's Vernon who has been the steadiest, most consistent presence at right end opposite Cameron Wake. Vernon is a versatile edge player who has improved against the run, and now as a full-time starter, he's already got more sacks in 2013 (4.5) than he had all in 2012 as a situational guy (3.5).

"Snacks" is costing the Jets the NFL equivalent of vending room change. The Jets have become an absolute terror against the run, with their three-man front controlling the line of scrimmage. Ends Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson are getting more pub because of their devastating edge play and first-round pedigrees, but Harrison has been munching on interior offensive linemen, too. The best part about it for New York: the product of tiny William Penn went undrafted in 2012.

Casey, coming off an outstanding 2012, has picked up at an equally high level under Gregg Williams. He has really come on strong after being an excellent third-pick of Tennessee in 2011. At 6-1, 300 pounds, his biggest asset is quickness in making plays in the backfield. In addition to his four sacks (already more than 2012), he has a nose for sniffing out tackles for loss.

MLB: Kiko Alonso, Bills (2013 salary: $400,000)

The first rookie on the list is making a strong case for defensive rookie of the year. He's pretty much done everything for Buffalo, leading the league with four interceptions in addition to his one sack, four passes defended, forced fumble and 43 total tackles. So much for higher-priced former Oregon teammate Dion Jordan having the best opportunity for DROY; instead it's the Bills' second-round pick's award to lose.

The Buccaneers are still looking for their first win, and David got attention for his penalty on Geno Smith that cost them their best chance. But in reality, David, after an outstanding rookie season, has done all he can to lead their defense. The 23-year-old just makes plays everywhere—he's upped his sack production to five on the weakside, to go with an interception and 46 tackles. The Bucs once had a great one outside in Derrick Brooks, and David, a 2012 second-rounder, has started down that path.

Burfict went undrafted in 2012 because of some concerns about off-field issues and on-field demeanor. Credit coach Marvin Lewis that he could get the best out of Burfict's immense talent and keep him focused on football. He also plays the weak side in a 4-3, and has been one brutal impact player for a top defense. His 56 tackles, one sack and one interception have him on track for a big improvement.

Harris, an exceptional nickel back as a second-year player in 2012, and has needed to a do a lot more in coverage with Champ Bailey banged up for most of 2013. He's been up to the task as a strong cover man and better tackler. Washington was the latest team to feel his presence, as he recorded his third interception of the season on Sunday, matching last season's total.

The San Francisco 49ers didn't keep the rookie seventh-round pick for depth, and the Chiefs have been reaping the rewards. Cooper has been versatile enough to star in their subpackages and also help them outside. His great impact in a good cornerback group (Brandon Flowers, Sean Smith, Dunta Robinson) includes two interceptions, 11 passes defended and a fumble returned for a touchdown.

Shutdown cornerback Joe Haden is the superstar of Cleveland's secondary, but Ward, taken in the second round after Haden in 2010, also has been a stalwart. He is a very active and rangy playmaker, as his blitzing and coverage skills are balanced by his solid play in run support.

S: Tyrann Mathieu, Cardinals (2013 salary: $405,000)

He's wanted to shed both the Honey Badger nickname and some of his troubled past at LSU, and his immediate standout play has been huge indication of his commitment to be better all-around in the NFL. He has become so fun to watch on Sunday because he seems to be everywhere making clutch plays. His stats across the board (one sack, two interceptions, five passes defended, a forced fumble and 47 tackles) indicate that.

There was a boom of booming rookie legs in 2012, including Blair Walsh, Greg Zuerlein and Justin Tucker. Sturgis is the best to enter the league in '13. He's gone 11-of-15 for Miami, but two of his missed field-goal attempts have been from 50 or more yards, where he's also made three, showing off great power.

Hekker has a modest punting average of 45 yards, but he is second in net yardage at 43.1 on the strength of dropping a dozen inside the 20 and causing nine fair catches. He is also No. 2 in the league as teams have averaged only 2.4 return yards on his punts.

PR/KR: Dwayne Harris, Cowboys (2013 salary: $555,000)

There's that other more seasoned "D.H." returning ace in Chicago, Devin Hester, but Harris is headed toward representing the NFC in the Pro Bowl. He's second in average kickoff return yardage (35.7) and third in average punt return average (15.8) with the highlight of a crucial 86-yard TD against the Redskins.
